Sunset Egrets

Art by Delilah

Sunset Egrets

Here is how I did this oil painting:

I started with a tinted panel in a pink because I wanted the undertones to be warm. I often use my leftover paint at the end of the day to undetone canvas. I hate to waste anything and it also gives me a good supply of dry toned canvas to use.

I do a quick sketch of where I want the egrets to be and place the horizon line high in the painting because it is about the birds and the water.

I put in the base color of the sky and water in a lemon yellow.

I add some blue to the foreground water which as I paint toward the Egrets become a wonderful shade of green as it mixes on the canvas with the lemon yellow.

At this point I step back and evaluate the strucker of the painting. It seems off balance to me so I take Q-tip and wipe out a spot in the water to add a fourth Egret.

I  start putting more detil into the birds and darken the horizon line.

I begin adding the reflection of the birds in the water.

With a small rigger brush I add details. I build up the color of the water with a 1/2 in flat brush now.

I work a little more on it adding darker colors to the foreground.

Tropical Drama, painting palm trees

I keep a paper towel in my hand when I paint and wipe the brush when I change colors or make a heavy stroke of paint. I don't like to dip the brush in paint solvents because it muddies the color.

I mix a shadow color for the under fronds of the palm tree using phthalo blue, cad. yellow, and alizarin crimson.

I put the trunks in by pulling the brush staigh down in a vertical clean swipe using phthalo blue and red iron oxide.

I block in the general color of the palms with a mix of lemon yellow,cad yellow, phthalo blue and white.

I use a brighter green to add depth in the trees.

I add the sky color now.



I finish painting the general sky color.

I add high lights of red oxide,white,and cad yellow to the trees.

I add more paint build up the high lights and add more bright colors.

Flamingo Pink

I painted a group of hens in a farm yard a few days ago and I really liked the way it turned out. I am my own best and worst critique depending on the day of the week. I wondered if I could get the same feel with other birds so having talked about reds yesterday I thought I would give flamingos a try today and I made them pink because those are my favorite kind of flamingos. When you live any Michigan any pink bird seems very exotic.
